Big mouth Rudy Giuliani bragged about how FBI agents were talking to him about the Clinton investigation.FBI Investigating Possible Leaks To Rudy Giuliani About Hillary Clinton Email Investigation
FBI Director James Comey told senators Wednesday that the agency is looking into whether employees leaked information about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails to members of Donald Trump’s team, including Rudy Giuliani.
Shortly before the election, Comey announced that he was reopening the probe into Clinton’s private server after more emails were found on the computer of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), who was married to a top Clinton aide.
A few days later, Giuliani went on Fox News and bragged that he knew in advance about the new emails.
“Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it,” said Giuliani, a prominent Trump surrogate and former New York City mayor.
He added that he had expected the news to come out weeks before.
Comey said he didn’t yet know whether anyone in the FBI had leaked information about the investigation to Giuliani or others, but it was a matter that he was “very very interested in.”
“If I find out that people were leaking information about our investigations, whether to reporters or to private parties, there will be severe consequences,” he told Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday.
“But you are looking into it?” Leahy asked.
“Correct,” Comey replied.
He said he would let the committee know the findings of this investigation, although he might not release them publicly.
It is a violation of F.B.I. policy for agents to share investigative information with anyone.Mr. Giuliani has publicly claimed that F.B.I. agents were telling him that Mrs. Clinton should have been criminally charged for the email server.
“It perplexes numerous F.B.I. agents who talk to me all the time,” Mr. Giuliani said during an August interview with Chris Cuomo on CNN.
“And it embarrasses some F.B.I. agents.”

“You have outraged F.B.I. agents that talk to me,” Mr. Giuliani said in an interview on Wednesday with Megyn Kelly on Fox News.
“They are outraged at the injustice. They are outraged at being turned down by the Justice Department to open a grand jury.
They are convinced that Loretta Lynch has corrupted the Justice Department.”
